Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) CEO and Managing
Director Venky Mysore says buying a stake in the
T&T Red Steel was the best choice for the organ-
isation and with Kolkata s involvement in the
Caribbean Premier League (CPL), the T&T franchise
will soar to a higher level.
Kolkata has been a staple in the Indian Premier
League since the League began in 2008 and Mysore
is confident that the T&T Red Steel will benefit from
KKR s involvement.
Mysore said choosing T&T made sense. "When
this situation came along and we wanted to get
involved, we felt T&T was the best choice because
of the demographics of the country as well as its
financial capability; T&T is a growing middle class
society so when the CPL contacted us we were quite
excited about it. T&T has a connection to India and
Bollywood and we felt it made sense to get involved."
Mysore revealed that KKR will bring its best prac-
tices to the T&T Red Steel including a winning men-
tality. Mysore stated: "We want to build our fan base
and take KKR to another level. Our fan base is the
biggest out of all the IPL teams. We realise it is essen-
tial to build a brand and we can take T&T to another
level. What we do in KKR will benefit T&T and vice
versa. I think we will favourably impact viewership
in India."
Mysore added that Kolkata s on the field practices
such as its amazing support staff and comfortable
dressing room has brought the team success over
the years including two IPL titles.
However, Mysore said Kolkata will take time to
learn about the T&T team.
"Our intention is to come in and learn and not
impose all our ideas. We want to absorb and meet
all the new people."
T&T Red Steel captain Dwayne Bravo is excited
that Bollywood superstar and co-owner of the
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Shah Rukh Khan has
decided to become part of the T&T franchise in
this year s Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
On June 10, news broke that Indian Premier League
(IPL) team KKR bought a stake in the T&T Red Steel,
the first time an IPL franchise is investing in an over-
seas T20 cricket league.
Bravo said, "It is good news, obviously, it is good
news for us as a team and as a franchise. It is also
good for us as a country, Trinidad and Tobago, to
have someone of Shah Rukh Khan s stature to actually
choose the T&T Red Steel."
The brilliant performances by T&T players in the
IPL over the years encouraged KKR to come on board,
the skipper said.
"It shows that the hard work of the T&T players
in the IPL has paid off. From (Kieron) Pollard, (Sunil)
Narine, (Lendl) Simmons, (Samuel) Badree, (Kevon)
Cooper, (Ravi) Rampaul and myself. It shows we are
reaping the rewards because of our success in the
IPL."
Bravo added, "I think T&T is the perfect country
for him. I know him personally, he is a very good
person and nice guy. He enjoys the night life as well
and is fun and I think he chose the right team and
the right country."
Red Steel Manager Colin Borde said, "It is going
to be a plus for Red Steel and for T&T. It means we
have global support.
"It means we will not only be in the Caribbean
Premier League but a global brand which will be
great for T&T."
Venky Mysore:
Steel can soar
to new heights
IPL pays off for
T&T players
Shah Rukh Khan ...enjoys night life.
Venky Mysore...will bring
best practises to CPL.
